When you are charging batteries, you use a lot more fuel and you are much more fuel efficient when on the surface so I only dive when necessary. You can use full or flank when doing an end around.

Hmm...I guess I was looking at it backwards thinking that if no diesel is used while you're submerged it only makes sense that you'd want to be submerged as much as possible. Thanks for the tip(s).
Now to figure out what on earth I'm doing wrong with the manual firing solutions. The bottom of the East China Sea is littered with my spent torpedoes, and there are three Japanese tankers that docked in China this afternoon laughing about the Yankee sub captain that couldn't hit a barn door...
